I was surprised that Walter's injury seems to have been this bad. I didn't even remember him getting hurt in the Vikings preseason game and even when I did it was, "Oh its no big deal..." as usual from the Texans coaching staff. I'm worried his injury is pretty serious.

Kevin Walter said he is expecting to play...on my fantasy news updates it said he is expected to play and start against the jags so lets keep our fingers cross and hope we put andre, kevin, and jacobe and get schaub anyother badass performance

I'm worried that it's just lingering. Hammy right? I don't think KW would milk it for one second but if it won't go away the right thing to do is sit out until he's healed up completely. It sucks because he's like the Shane Battier of offensive football. A WR that blocks, doesn't crave attention, plays team first ball and doesn't suck when his number is called. HEAL FAST KW!!!

His time out has definitely made me realize just how valuable he is to this team. We desperately need him across from AJ because he runs perfect routes and catches everything. As you state, he is also a good blocker. JJ did a fine job against the Titans, but I desperately want Walter to come back. We need him.

Hamstring injuries are VERY tricky......it's best not to rush back and take your time with that kinda injury or it'll be lingering all season long. I hope they keep him out as long as he needs, because I don't want to see him in and out of the lineup for the remainder of the season.

That's why Jacoby's play last week was HUGE, we were able to get a win against a divisional rival on the road while Walter was able to get another week of rest. Speaking of Jacoby, I think we proved last week that we need to get him on the field more as a receiver (no more punt/kick returning though)...he could be our Nate Washington (when he was a Steeler).

He also said that he was gonna play against Tenn. Yahoo says he was limited in practice today so I guess we'll see on Sunday. KW is a gamer and he's also in a contract year, so my guess is if he can possibly suit up then he will.
